Definitely a country feeling place. It felt like all the locals were there. It is an all you can…read moreeat buffet. The catfish, hush puppies and slaw were top notch. Also available were fries, corn on the cob( tasty, but a little over cooked) and peach cobbler. The people were nice enough, but all business. It's an older building but no one is complaining. I wish I lived closer, but will come back!

We headed to this place on a recommendation from a local. When we arrived it looked like a well…read moreused meeting hall. As you walk in there is a check in desk where you pay with the small buffet behind. That leads into not one, not two but 4 separate dining rooms. We went to the buffet and loaded up on coleslaw, corn, onion rings, catfish. And hush puppies. Let me tell you the Cole slaw was some of my favorite I ever tasted. The corn, well it's corn that has been soaked in butter, the hush puppies, again, some of the best I've had. Now the real star, the catfish. This was soooo fresh not a hint of fishiness nor smell. The cornmeal coating gave it the right amount of texture and crunch. They was not one ounce of oil residue left. The onion rings were also good but not worth going back for a second try. The ladies serving were some of the kindest souls. Their website says they are cash only, however one of my students remembers seeing a square app available.

Country Catfish - While I understand your reasons, good luck with that. It's not illegal. Read the legal code before making assumptions.

Overall 4 Stars If…read moreyou want a decent Po-Boy in Meridian, make a pit stop at Seafood Express. Get your gas and chips but you GOTTA' get their sandwiches! Ambiance - A locally owned gas store / deli, you can order a variety of FRIED food, both Surf or Turf, plates, family style or a la cart. The only fresh seafood they might have is Crawfish, when in seasoned. There are three or four small tables to seat and eat. I recommend as order as takeout. Service - the staff were fast and friendly. With a steady supply of locals coming through, they ready to take your order. The deli section is stocked with a lot of fried items so you can get your food quicker. However, I would recommend to get one of their PoBoy sandwiches. You won't go wrong. You may have to wait 5-10 minutes but it worth it. Food - 4 Stars Shrimp PoBoy combo w fries and drink. $13.99 I would have given it 5 stars but the fries were overcooked and too crunchy. The quality of the potato of the fries could be better too. The bread was fluffy and toasty just as it should be for a PoBoy! The amount of shrimp was overwhelming. See pictures. The sandwhich came w lettuce, onions, pickles and tomatoes. No mayo. I ordered the 8" combo meal but they have a 6" size, if you counting your calories because your cholesterol will still be high with the amount of fried food! Oh, I forgot, they have shrimp fried rice too. So get a side order! I forgot to order mine. Bummer. Enjoy

One of my go-to places in Starkville. A little slow on food but it's good when it finally gets…read morethere. Great beer selection!!

Came here with my son-in-law after the egg bowl…read more We were able to be seated immediately in the back area booths near the beer wall. I decided to try the Red Beans and Rice (red beans marinated for 24 hours, simmered with sausage, ribeye, and vegetables, and served over rice). While the ribeye added to the traditional dish, I was not a fan of the overall end result. It actually seemed like the whole dish had been cooked for 24 hours until there was almost no moisture left. The rice part was fine. My son-in-law decided to try the fried catfish I had been considering. While cooked well and had good flavor, the batter was not the expected cornmeal style normally associated with fried catfish. They were also out of the particular beer he had been wanting to try. After multiple attempts to pick one from the menu, the server said it might be easier to show you what we do have on tap. Service on this visit also left a lot to be desired. From the delay taking the order, having to flag a server down for drink refills and even to get the check. It was not busy enough to cause the service we received. We had been before with my daughter and wife and had a much better experience. So I am not sure if things have gone downhill or just an anomaly. The burger I had on the previous visit was very good and the Rosey Chips (house made potato chips) were pretty good too. My daughter is a big fan of their fried pickles appetizer. Will. Give them another shot, yes but there are plenty of other options we will likely go to first.
